Autumn is officially upon us and we’re diving headfirst into the season with this beautifully orchestrated wedding inspiration shoot by Events by Fran. Held at Zachari Dunes on Mandalay Beach the event seamlessly blends modern design elements with warm, vibrant colors. The palette featured bold mustard yellow, rich oranges, and deep greens, evoking the essence of fall while incorporating soft, beachy vibes. The ceremony took place right in the sand, offering a breathtaking backdrop of waves and sunsets, while the ballroom reception provided an elegant contrast with its sophisticated atmosphere.

The floral arrangements, crafted by Tangled Lotus, burst with warmth and color, perfectly complementing the overall aesthetic. Each arrangement featured an artful mix of autumn blooms that echoed the vibrant hues of the season. Rentals from Amigo Event Rentals added a chic touch, while the exquisite linens from BBJ La Tavola enhanced the elegant setting.

Photography by Michelle Ramirez captured every detail, from the intimate moments in the sand and on the venue’s dreamy staircase to the luxurious ballroom ambiance. Completing the celebration was a stunning wedding cake from Heirloom Baking Co., a local favorite known for its delectable flavors and artistic designs. Together, these elements created a captivating experience that celebrated love, nature, and the beauty of fall by the beach.
